INTRODUCTION 


N PRESENTING this catalogue to the trade and general public, 
we have no apologies to offer nor excuses to make, since we 
claim to have reached the Acme of Perfection in the particular 
branch of industry in which we are engaged. The mill art is 

old and mills have been used since long before Jacob sent his sons: 
into Egypt to buy corn, and doubtless they will continue in use till 
the dawn of the millennium. 

Notwithstanding the past ages have seen the most wonderful 
strides and improvements in every branch of industry, invention and 
art have leaped by bounds almost beyond human comprehension, 
Buhr mills have not come in for a full share of the inventor’s art. 

The inventor of Williams Mill fully realizing the need of im- 
provements in ordinary corn meal and feed mills, set out to bring 
these results about, and after going over the mill field and retaining 
all that was found to be good, and rejecting the bad, and adding such 
new and valuable features as his skill and mechanical genius dic- 
tated, he at last evolved out of the whole a mill that is of itself a 
marvel of simplicity and yet contains every essential feature and 
principle that is needed or required to make a perfect Buhr mill for 
reducing grain to meal or flour.

THE WILLIAMS PORTABLE MILL 


DESCRIP TION 


durability, and this alone should be the guiding spirit that 

prompts every one who needs or wants a mill in selecting 

one that embodies all of these features without having any 
complicated or superfluous parts to get out of order. The Williams 
Mill is simple in construction, neat in appearance, strong and well 
made throughout and will last a lifetime. The mill has no frail or 
complicated parts to get out of order and can be successfully ope- 
rated by the most inexperienced miller. We make only the vertical 
mill, but make them in any size to suit the requirements of the pur- 
chaser. All of our mills are made of the same high grade material 
and workmanship, therefore the one who buys a 12-inch or 16-inch 
mill is assured of the same high grade of mill construction that will 
be found in our larger and more expensive mills. 

CONSTRUCTION.—The frame work or skeleton of the Williams 
Mill is made of a select grade of heart pine, cut with great care, that 
insures it free from knots and defective parts. This lumber is thor- 
oughly seasoned and milled before it is made up for the frame work 
of the mill. It is put together in the most rigid manner and thor- 
oughly held in place by a number of wrought iron bolts, which makes 
the most perfect wood frame in the world. Tor strength and dura- 
bility we claim that our frame is the equal of any cast iron frame 
made, and we think has many advantages over the cast iron frame, 
and chief of these it does not sweat and cause the meal to cake up 
and sour, as it does in the iron hull. The spindles are heavy and are 
of the best grade of steel; the boxing is the best that can be made 
and well lined with the very best grade of anti-friction babbitt 
metal, which insures a cool spindle and box at all times. The babbitt 
is arranged in halves to allow for the take up in wearing. Just 
inside the bearings there is an oil trap, or device for catching any 
excess of lubricating oil which might trickle down the spindle and 
find its way into the meal. This feature is a valuable one and will 
be highly appreciated by those who desire nothing but the most 
wholesome bread meal. 

FAN CLEANS THE GRAIN.—The mill is provided with a fan for 
cleaning the grain as it passes from the hopper to the buhrs. The 
fan is made of one solid piece of metal and is fastened onto the end 
of the shaft or spindle with a set screw, and is provided with a case 
or covering which has a return bend through which the air current 
IS directed and carried directly through the grain spout, thereby 
blowing away all husky material, together with the dirt and other 
accumulations that necessarily find their way into corn and other 


[va ECONOMY in buying a mill lies in its usefulness and

grain, as well as the silks and hairs that will get into the erain. The 
fan is a simple little piece of mechanism, but is as per fect as it is 
simple, and has no feed belts or driving parts to get out of order, but 
is always ready and running when the runner buhr is going. This 
feature in our mill can not be overestimated since it alw ays insures 
clean, wholesome meal. 





MILL CLOSED 


SCREENS TAKE OuT TRASH AND Lirrer.—In addition to the fan 
for blowing out litter and trashy matter which screens will not take 
out, the Williams Mills are provided with a perforated metal screen 
placed in the shoe, which prevents foreign substances, such as nails 
or bolts, from entering into the mill and damaging the face of the 
buhrs.

MILL OPENED 








| THE WILLIAMS MILL 


A wire screen is placed in the grain spout, on which all the 
erain falls before entering into the mill, and thus, broken particles, 
as well as litter of every description, are separated from corn that 
is being ground for bread meal. Nearly all corn is more or less 
infected with rat litter, and this is positively taken out by these 
screening devices. On account of this feature, if no other, the 
Williams Mills are greatly superior to other mills. 

PEBBLE STONE Grit BUHRS—The bulhrs are the best that money 
can buy. They are the pebble stone grit which is the equal, if not 
the superior of the French Buhr. Our buhrs are hard and flinty, but 
tough in texture, which makes them especially adapted to grinding 
soft, fine meal. They require little sharpening to keep them in good 
erinding condition. The runner stone is securely fastened to the 
spindle and the stationary stone is cemented in the frame of the mill 
in the most solid manner, so that the buhr can not get out of align- 
ment, thus avoiding the trouble that is presented by various other 
mills, on account of the stones getting out of tram. The ordinary 
mill with the old set screw arrangement for adjusting the stationary 
bubr is not to be considered when you compare that with our new 
and improved method of cementing the bed stone. 

Buurs Witt Nor Drirr—Also another feature of the Williams 
Mill is that the buhrs positively will not drift or run together when 
the millruns empty. This action is positive and will not disappoint 
the miller at any time. He can put up his grain and go on about his 
business, and if, when he returns, the grain is ground out, he will 
find his mill running on as if nothing had happened, and the face of 
the buhrs not damaged in the least by running together. No other 
mill in the world will do this as all other mills require the attendant 
to be on hand when the grain runs out and release the tension of the 
buhrs by backing the thrust screw of the runner stone. It is impos- 
sible to overestimate the value of this feature in a mill, since it 
insures a good grinding surface on the buhrs all the time while the 
old fashioned mill will get the face ground off the buhrs, it matters 
not how careful the attendant may be. 

Easy To Op—EN—The Williams Mill can be opened for sharpen- 
ing in from one to three minutes. The old method of spending 
several hours with wrench, hammer and crowbar has been entirely 
eliminated, as you only have to remove two nuts and loosen two more 
when you are ready to swing the mill open. This is all done in a 
few moments and with ease compared with the old method of taking 
off the hopper and then loosening every bolt about the mill. The 
Williams Mill doesn’t require dressing often, but when it needs it 
the miller has an easy job instead of having to invite the whole 
neighborhood in to help sharpen his mill. 

Srrrer or Bourer—Each mill is furnished with a sifter or bolt- 
ing attachment. This is very valuable where meal is ground for the 









) PORTABLE MILL 


trade and sacked at the mill. The manner of operating the sifter of 
the Williams Mills is different from any other. The sifter has a 
rocking motion similar to the old style of sifting by hand, this 
motion being extended to the sifter from a rod ‘attached to the 
eccentric on “the shaft, and the motion is not only positive, but is 
almost noiseless, and therefore is greatly superior to the lengthwise 
motion of the sifters on other mills, which are difficult to keep in 
order and cause a great deal of rattling, as well as wear. 


Brartncs—The bearings in all the Williams Mills are of the 
latest and most modern type of ball bearings. The adjustment of 
the buhrs for grinding is regulated by a hand wheel and screw, 
acting upon the end of the shaft, which is adjustable and can not 
get oul of order. 

FEEDING Drvicr—This device is the simplest and best arrange- 
ment of the kind that has ever been brought out. The feeding 
arrangement is such that it can be regulated to give the required 
amount of grain in a smooth, even current to the buhrs and in any 
amount desired. It has the positive force feed which counts for 
much where rapid grinding is required. The capacity of the Wil- 
liams Mill is measured only by the power used. They will make 
from five to ten bushels of good corn bread meal per hour and wil 
erind from five to forty bushels of feed per hour. 


THE THRUST Screw—At right hand end of the shaft adjusts the 
buhrs to the proper degree of closeness for erinding corn or other 
erain fer bread meal or for feed, as may be desired. 


THE INDIcCATOR—Consists of a half circle and stop with three 
legs, and a cast iron pointer attached to the thrust screw. The miller 
should loosen the pointer or needle so that the thrust serew will turn 
in it, and set the buhrs for grinding the quality of meal that is de- 
sired, turn the pointer so that the small end will rest against the 
stop, and then tighten on the thrust screw. The buhrs can then be 
opened for grinding coarser meal or any other purpose, and when 
it is desired to grind find meal again, turn the thrust screw forward 
until the pointer rests against the stop. Thus the buhrs can be ad- 
justed time and again for grinding fine meal without damaging them, 
thereby avoiding running the stones together and causing them to 
become slick or dull. This is a most valuable feature in the con- 
struction of the mills. 


OUR GUARANTEE—ALII of the Williams Mills are sold under the 
personal guarantee of the manufacturers, that if the mill is not all 
they claim for it they will take it back and refund the money paid. 
We have entered the mill field to stay and shall at ail times turn out 
such work as will merit the confidence and respect of the most 
exacting customers. We own our plant and shall conduct our own 
business, as we belong to no trust or combine of any kind.

INSTRUCTIONS 


FOR SETTING UP, OPERATING AND TAKING APART FOR DRESSING THE BUHRS 
OF THE ‘*‘WILLIAMS’’ CORN AND FEED MILLS 


HE MILL should be set on a steady platform raised about 18 

: inches above the floor of the mill house, so as to allow a meal 

box or chest to go under the spout; place mill 12 to 20 feet 

from the engine or driving pulley, if possible, using 6-inch 

belt for the 12-, 16- and 20-inch mills, and 8-inch belt for the 24- and 

30-inch. See fee the shaft runs easily in the bearings, not too tight, 

as the boxes will heat if the cap screws are forced down too much, 
nor will it run true if the caps are loose. 


TH FAN is attached to the end of the shaft in the case by a set 
screw, and can be adjusted so as not to strike against the sides of 
the case at any time. The force or current of air can be regulated by 
making the opening in front of fan case large or small, as the cur- 
rent may be wanted—strong or weak. This depends on the amount 
of dust or trash which is desired to be blown from the grain as it 
enters the mill. Close the door entirely and very little air is blown 
through. | 

THE SHOE OR FEEDING DEVICH is operated by the eccentric next 
to the pulley, and the nuts should be carefully adjusted should they 
become loose, to prevent rattling, but not so tight as to cause heating 
of the connections. 

The perforated metal screen in the shoe prevents foreign sub- 

stances, such as nails, nuts or bolts, from entering the mill with the 
erain, and thereby avoids any damage to the stone buhrs. A metal 
plate near the top of the grain spout causes grain when it is being 
eround for bread meal, to fall on a wire screen on the slanting side 
of the erain box, so that litter of all kinds and grit is taken out, thus 
insuring pure, wholesome meal for table use. When grinding grain 
for bread the plate near the top of the spout is kept in place and the 
plate which slides in grooves beneath the wire screen on the left-hand 
side of the grain spout is withdrawn so that the litter and grit falls 
through the screen. 

When erinding oats and grain of all kinds for feed the sliding 
plate at the ‘top of the erain spout should be withdrawn and the plate 
beneath the wire screen kept in place, so that the grain will fall 
directly on the force feed screw on mill shaft and be conveyed into 
the mill without any waste. 

THH Srrrer is an entirely new and patented device for separat- 
ing the bran from the meal, and as will be noted, has a rocking 
instead of a lengthwise motion. This is the latest and most perfect 
sifter attached to any mill. It is simple, yet strong and durable, and 
can be connected or detached while the mill is in operation. The

iron for the head of sifter is placed on inside of frame when shipping; 
take this off and attach to outside of the sill by the lag bolt, and to top 
of cast frame by the bolt which already attaches this casting to the 
frame. The lower end of the sifter is to be attached to the casting 
which is bolted to pillow block, and can be raised or lowered by the 
sliding casting as is desired to allow the bran to run out of the sifter. 
When the mill is running at a slow speed the eccentric rod operating 
the sifter should be pushed further in the ball of the sifter head so as 
to shorten the stroke, and thus give more vibration to the sifter. 

THE THrustr Screw at right-hand end of the shaft adjusts the 
buhrs to the proper degree of closeness for grinding corn or other 
erain for bread meal or for feed, as may be wanted. The spring in 
the housing, next to the middle bearing, prevents the buhrs from 
drifting together as the grain runs out, but in grinding very fine 
meal the thrust screw should be backed, slightly, as the mill runs 
empty. Lock the screw, when the buhrs are adjusted for proper 
erinding, by turning up the lock-nut against the end of the bearing 
or box. 

THE INDICATING DkVICE consists of a half circle and stop with 
three legs, and a needle attached to the thrust screw. The mills are 
shipped with needle attached to the screw so that when it is turned 
against the stop, fine meal will be produced, and yet the stones can 
not be thrust together. If coarse meal is desired to be ground, turn 
the thrust screw backward, so that the needle points to other figures 
on the circle. The needle can be reattached on the screw at any 
time that it is desired to make new adjustment. 

THE ECCENTRIC vibrates the shoe as well as the sifter by the con- 
necting rods, and if fer any cause it begins to heat at all, loosen the 
nuts slightly, and the eccentric strap can be opened, another thin 
liner inserted at the top of the strap, where, it will be noticed, is 
a joint in the strap, this joint held together by a small machine bolt. 

To take the mill apart to sharpen the buhrs—loosen the set- 
screw attaching the fan to the end of the shaft; take off the nuts on 
the rods through the top of the mill frame, and push the rods out, 
loosen the large nuts on the ends of the swing-out bolts, and turn 
these bolts out; then slip the front section of the mill out along the 
sills, thus both sections of the mill containing the buhrs can be easily 
gotten at. Go over the face of the buhrs carefully with a sharp pick, 
dressing off any slick surfaces which appear on the face of the buhrs. 
Apply a coat of water paint to face of buhrg and readjust the sec- 
tions of the mill and run the buhrs together again, lightly. Take the 
Sections apart again and see if there are still any high places on the 
face of the buhrs, and if there should be any, dress over again lightly 
with the pick. The above is the process which every mill undergoes 
before leaving the factory, and each mill is carefully tested by grind- 
Ing a sufficient amount of corn through it to prove that it is perfectly

true, and that it will make meal of an extra degree of fineness. If the 
spring pressing against the middle box should cause any heating at 
this point, loosen the set screw attaching the eccentric to the shaft, 
and shove the eccentric slightly toward the pulley, making room on 
the shaft for relieving the tension of this spring.

Wiliams Mill Manufacturing Co., Ronda, N. C. 

GENTLEMEN:—I have received and installed my Williams Mill. It is the finest 
mill that has been in this country or anywhere else. I am running it about 750 
r. p. m., and it runs so steady that I could set an eight penny nail on the frame and 
it would stay there like it was driven in the wood. I have been running mills 
more or less for the past fifteen years, but no mill like the Williams. I run ten 
hours a day with a 9 h. p. engine, and I made 65 bushels of the finest bread meal. 
If the corn had not been damp I could have made 75 bushels. Grinding feed for 
stock it almost takes one man’s time to fill up the mill with the grain and one to 
take care of the meal. 

I do not understand how you set your rocks to running so nicely. No one need 
be afraid to buy one of your mills. I am well pleased with mine. 

Yours truly, T. M. SHARP.

GENTLEMEN:—I have one of your Williams Mills and like it fine. It surely 


makes good meal. One man says it has prolonged his life ten years. 
Yours very truly, W. L. OSTWALT. 


NETTLETON, Miss., June 23, 19138. 


Williams Mill Manufacturing Co., Ronda, N. C. 

GENTLEMEN:—I have hesitated for some time writing you concerning the little 
Grist Mill bought of you some time ago, in order to give it a thorough trial. I am 
now ready to tell you what I think about it. 

I think it is the best mill I ever saw. I run it about 650 r. p. m. with a 6 h. p. 
engine, and can grind a bushel of corn in ten minutes. As for the quality of the 
meal I can make, it is simply the best. My customers say it is the best meal they 
can get anywhere, and I know it is the truth, for I am gradually gaining trade 
from other mills. 

If I had to buy a half dozen mills tomorrow I would surely want them to be 
Williams. Yours very truly, C. E. SUMNER.

Williams Mill Manufacturing Co., Ronda, N. C. 
GENTLEMEN:—I have received the Williams Mill and am running it. Every- 
one that has used the meal say it is as good or better than they ever ate. 
I am using an 8 h. p. engine and men who are familiar with gasoline engines 
say a 4h. p. engine will run my mill. 
Wishing you a long life in the mill business, I am, 
Very truly yours, We Hie BLES:

GENTLEMEN:—I have the Williams Mill and find it does the very finest kind of 
work. All of my customers are well pleased with the meal I grind for them. It 
is one of the best mills ever manufactured.

YADKINVILLE, N. C., December 22, 1913. 
Williams Mill Manufacturing Co., Ronda, N. C. 
GENTLEMEN:—The 16” Mill I bought of you is taking the day around here. 
My customers are well pleased and say it makes the best meal they ever saw. Mr. 
Wilson Wooten, an old miller, told me he had rather have one-half bushel of bread 


meal from this mill than one bushel from any other mill. Two other customers 
have told me the same thing. Respectfully, 





H. N. BoHANNON.

fine. Yours truly, L. C. WILLIAMS.

Williams Mill Manufacturing Oo., Ronda, N. C. 


GENTLEMEN:—I purchased one of your 20” Corn Mills and am running it with 
a 12h. p. engine. It does not require so much power, but I had the engine and 
you know that plenty of power is no objection with any machinery. One feature 
of the mill I have always doubted, that is your claim that the stones would not 
drift together when the corn runs out. I find that they positively will not run 
together unless I am grinding floury meal. I doubt if there is any other mill 
manufactured that has this valuable feature, and it is a mill of very large capacity. 
Another thing is, the Williams people are all that could be asked for in their 
dealings; they are determined that customers shall be satisfied. I am delighted 
with my mill and anyone wanting a Corn Mill will do well to correspond with 
the Williams Mill Manufacturing Co., Ronda,eNnaCe 

With best wishes for your success, Very truly yours, 


W. S. DIxon.
